education to address this need. Hardware to accomplish this goal has been in existence for several decades, though onlysince 1993 has it seen applications in education [4]. Educational advances have increased sincethat time, albeit slowly. Important advances include Christopher Dede’s application ofvisualization hardware to general scientific concepts [5], and the teaching of electromagnetics inparticular with the well-known MaxwellWorld [6]. Other applications include education ofelementary school students in basic zoological concepts at Georgia Tech [7, 8], the NICE projectfor elementary education at the University of Illinois at Chicago [9]-[11], and engineeringeducation research at East Carolina University [12].

Activities are categorized in three broad areas of teaching, scholarly, and service. ABETcriteria is focused on the academic area of the departments in undergraduate programs. However,departments must also engage in other activities that must also be included in a total qualityimprovement (TQI) system.

The program enables engineeringundergraduates to incorporate a study abroad experience in their undergraduate degree programswhile continuing to make normal progress toward their degrees. Prior exposure or facility withGerman is not expected before starting the program, but students must participate in an intensiveGerman-language course while in Dresden. The TUD was chosen as a partner in developing thisprogram because Boston University already had a small program and a resident directorestablished at this site. In addition, the TUD had appropriate faculty and laboratory facilitiesavailable to teach the requisite science and engineering courses in English. While in Dresden,students take three of four

Specifically, important for thisproject was their resource on concepts such as learning with understanding, conceptualreorganization, organization of knowledge, transfer and application of knowledge to newsituations, and problem solving.

Each semester a teaching assistant was assigned to support the facultyand assist the students in using the ILMs or explaining other concepts. Two graduate students rewrote the accompanying laboratory manual during the summer of2001 to insure that the principles exemplified by the modules could be easily integrated into thelaboratory sessions.

standards. A team must accomplish such aprocess. The other two “Educational Processes”, course teaching and graduate researchsupervision, are generally individual activities though some benefit may be realized fromteamwork.The “Educational Resources” function is related to non-personnel resources that an academicdepartment acquires and maintains primarily for instructional purposes. Decisions regardingcomputing equipment, laboratory equipment, software, and textbooks for use in courses must beby teams. Individual faculty members normally make recommendations on library resources.Implied in the “Faculty/Department Development” function is the enhancing of the credentials ofindividual faculty as well as the department.

should do better on the tests.This indeed happens as shown in the next section. But if homework problems are alleasy to ensure success, students may not be successful when faced with more difficulttest problems. One solution to this dilemma is to start the assignment with relatively easyproblems and work up to problems that are more difficult than any test problem. Thesedifficult problems can appropriately challenge the better students in the class.Essential to effective teaching is feedback, and two types are necessary for homeworkassignments. Students need a chance to study a correct solution, whether discussed inclass, posted on the web or on a bulletin board, copied and passed out to students, orplaced on reserve in the library.
